As soon as he returned to the slums, the stench in the air made Dean frown slightly. Now his sense of smell was different from the past. He could smell the slightest odor, not to mention the faint odor that ordinary people could smell. For him, it was very strong. For a while, he felt nauseous and dizzy. This was the physical discomfort caused by the pungent smell.
Dean slightly covered his nose, waiting for his body to adapt. At the same time, he realized that an overly strong sense of smell was also a fatal weakness!
"In the future, if I meet other hunters with such super senses, I can use this method to deal with them. Advantages are disadvantages. It seems that everything has two sides." Dean flashed such an idea in his mind. He got off the carriage and went along the streets.
As the saying goes, "Staying in the toilet for a long time doesn't smell bad." As Dean stayed longer, the feeling of physical discomfort gradually faded. He did not go directly to Meishan Orphanage, but along the path, came to the garbage dump that he had been to three years ago.
As he approached, the strong rotten smell was getting heavier and heavier. When he arrived at the garbage dump, Dean suddenly saw that several garbage mountains that were previously piled up here had been flattened. There were garbage residues and a newly piled up garbage mountain on the ground. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. Although he had expected that the garbage here would be cleaned up, he didn't expect it to be removed so quickly.
"I heard that last year there was a plague in the slums, causing many people to be infected. Now the" black death season "is coming again, and the temperature is rising. It is estimated that this pile of garbage was cleaned up not long ago." Dean had some regrets. If he was not selected to go to scavenger special training three years ago, he could rely on the remaining energy of the freezer in the garbage dump to learn a lot of knowledge, far more than what he learned in the special training. But at that time, he had no ability to resist and could only obey the arrangement. Just like the conscription in the old era, without a strong background, he had to serve.
"My freezer was also moved away. It is very likely that it was seen when it was being moved. As long as the news is leaked, with the intelligence network of various consortia and military, they should not let the freezer be left outside. After all, such a metal object can be seen from the outside. Perhaps at this moment, it has been moved somewhere and secretly studied. Fortunately, I did not leave my photo inside, otherwise it would be big trouble." Dean secretly thought.
At this time, he suddenly smelled something approaching, and suddenly his face turned cold.
This was the advantage of the sense of smell. Before the eyes could see, they could detect in advance.
He looked back and saw two middle-aged men and a young man in ragged clothes coming out from the back alley. The three of them surrounded him from three different directions. They were holding sticks, rusty hatchet, and dirty black stones in their hands. They stared at Dean gloomily and approached him step by step.
"Brat!" The middle-aged man with disheveled hair in the middle growled, "If you know what's good for you, hand over your money and clothes!"
"Three refugees." Dean looked at their clothes and knew their identity. Even in the slums, they were at the bottom of the society. Refugees were equivalent to homeless people. Moreover, their bodies had accumulated excessive radiation. Even if they were to work as coolies, few places would accept them so as not to affect the health of others.
"Aren't you going to kill me?" Dean faintly smiled.
The three of them looked at each other. From the fine fabric of Dean's clothes, they knew that Dean was not from their slums, so they just wanted to rob the money and leave. Once he killed someone, especially in the residential area, most of the magistrate would be involved in the investigation. This was what they were afraid of. However, they did not expect that the brat did not seem to have the slightest fear on his face.
"Brat, don't talk nonsense, or I'll waste you!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and shouted.
Dean's figure flashed and suddenly flew out.
Bang! Bang!
As the middle-aged man said, Dean was really too lazy to be long-winded. He knocked the three of them to the ground. He was about to ask them about the whereabouts of the garbage dump, but suddenly thought that if the freezer was taken away by the military or other forces for investigation, maybe they would send someone to keep an eye on this place and investigate who had placed the freezer in the garbage dump.
Thinking of this, he could not help but be surprised. He was somewhat glad that if he went to ask, it was equal to falling into the trap. He immediately cut off the idea, kicked the middle-aged man, and shouted: "Let me ask you, how to get to the Meishan Orphanage? I'm lost."
The middle-aged man's face was full of horror. It was difficult to understand how such a little guy could have such terrible speed and strength. However, just as the perception of the residential district towards the commercial district was mysterious and yearning, the residential district was also mysterious in the slums. He didn't dare to think too much and hurriedly said: "Yes, go out of this road and turn left. After crossing two streets, turn right. At that time, just ask someone and you will know."
Dean snorted and turned away. He naturally knew the way to the Meishan Orphanage. He just wanted to explain the reason why he came here through the mouth of the middle-aged man. If there was any force secretly observing here, or if they wanted to investigate here, they would not suspect him.
"The energy of the freezer has been exhausted. If the overall level of technology and industry has not been improved, it is impossible to research anything. But this is the only thing left to me by my parents. If I find out who took it, I must get it back." Dean secretly said in his heart.
After ten minutes of walking, he came to the front of the Meishan Orphanage. The orphanage located on the hillside was still very dilapidated. Three years had only made it more old.
Dean saw a slightly chubby woman in front of the gate, sweeping the sparse lawn in front of the orphanage.
"Aunt Dai." Dean shouted.
The middle-aged woman turned back in surprise and looked at Dean with doubt: "You are?"
"Dean." Dean smiled.
There weren't many children in the orphanage. In just three years, she hadn't forgotten the boy. Moreover, among all the children she had seen, the fair-skinned boy had left a deep impression on her. She couldn't help but look at Dean from head to toe. The outline of his face overlapped with her memory. She said happily: "Dean? You are back? How are you? How are you with your parents? "
"Very good." Dean smiled: "I came back to see Barton and Joseph."
Daley was stunned: "Joseph is still in the orphanage. But you can't see Barton. He has been sent to the Collin mine last year."
Dean slightly frowned. He remembered that Barton should have just turned 13 years old. Even if he was sent to the mine it should be during the 'black snow season'. However, it was useless to say anything more to Dai Li. He immediately said, "I understand. I'll go to the mine to find him later. I'll have to trouble Aunt Dai to call Joseph, Kroen, and Barry out. I want to redeem their residences."
